Iraqi police and hospital officials told the Associated Press, at least 15 people were killed and more than two-dozen were injured in explosions in Baghdad on Sunday. In the Sadr City district, three were killed during explosions at a falafel shop. A State Department spokeswoman said in a statement, the embassy in Baghdad remained open in the aftermath of the explosions, though security was strengthened and some staff members were transferred out of the city. Also on Sunday, a series of pictures posted to a Twitter account controlled by militants purported to show gunman shooting unarmed men.
